A few days ago, I clipped the NS wing mirror as I backed the car in to the garage. As I was backing the car in, the mirror bent towards the front of the car and realising my mistake, stopped and drove forward. However, the NS wing mirror indicators no longer work.
I've come across a YouTube video that's quite helpful and can see it's possible to replace the individual 6-off small orange bulbs.
I wondered if any knew if the bulbs might need replacing or if it might be a case of the electric connection possibly being stretched /snapped off and hence no indicators.
I understand I'll need to remove the wing mirror cover, but fingers crossed someone here might have had a similar experience.
If I do need to replace all 6 bulbs, would anyone have an idea of what size/spec they might be? Can they be found in somewhere like Halfords, or is it a case of having to look online?

I wouldn't do anything without further troubleshooting.
You're probably getting an error on that. I doubt the LED"s are bad. Pop the mirror cover off and get a better look.
Lots of info around here on how to do that.
Yes, first pop off the mirror cover and you will be able to see where the little plug is for the side indicator. If it is the side indicator, that all replaces as one piece. If you see that that is not simply unplugged, take some pictures inside and report back to us.
